My desert island cannot sustain a full symphony orchestra, and has no electricity, so we are just left with that Eric Clapton 'unplugged' stuff.... Orlando Gibbons - Motet 'Almighty and Everlasting God' - Sounds good in the shower. (Only the bass part, that is....I don't actually shower with tenor, alto, and soprano...) Handel - Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne - mainly for that opening solo Archangelo Corelli - Slow movement from G minor concerto - For the melody Antonio Vivaldi - Responsorio: 'Domine ad adiuvandum me festina' - For the energy, and the inventive choral stereo effect on multiple repetitions of 'festina'...(Dolby surround, 1700 style) William Harris - Faire is the Heaven (8-part choral motet) - To die for JS Bach - Great fugue 'Dona nobis pacem' from B minor Mass - To die to (pretentious....moi?) Sorry if these are a bit unfamiliar. Just giving an honest answer to an honest question. Actually, I do have a fair bit of more modern stuff (not just 'klassikal' [...abhorrent terminology...lets just call it 'common mode music of the 13th-20.5th centuries]...but even some faintly modern(!) stuff. But what is the point in even trying to blag? :p.
